The Westin Portland Harborview

I had two rooms booked and knew check-in was at 4:00 p.m. One room was for my elderly parents, as we were heading back to Portland from Bar Harbor before our flight on Monday. I arrived early, and the woman at the front desk was incredibly polite. She let me know one room was already available and that I was eligible for a late checkout as a member. She also reminded me that breakfast was included in my reservation. She was very professional. After touring the city for several hours, I returned around 3 p.m. to check if my second room was ready. The gentleman at the desk was incredibly rude, snapping at me to remind me that check-in wasn't until 4 p.m. I explained that I was aware and simply checking for availability, which it turned out there was. He proceeded to check me in but failed to mention my late checkout eligibility or breakfast until I brought them up myself. I felt like a burden rather than a customer. As a former business traveler who held platinum status with Starwood Resorts before the Marriott acquisition, I have always enjoyed staying at Westin hotels. This Sunday was not a good experience. I have never felt so uncomfortable checking into a hotel; the front desk agent looked down on my family, which I did not appreciate. To end on a positive note, our breakfast server was kind and lovely. However, my interaction with the front desk staff left such a bad taste in my mouth that I felt compelled to share this feedback.

Everything was clean, pleasant, well done.

Didn’t have breakfast or make it to the bar

There for one night. Was great location.

Desk staff was very friendly and helpful, and we were pleasantly surprised to get a corner room with stunning views. Will definitely be back!
